B.C. government opens book of condolence for Queen Elizabeth II

VICTORIA — British Columbians are invited to sign a book of condolence in remembrance of Queen Elizabeth II.

In a news release Friday (Sept. 9) morning, the B.C. government says an online book has been set up and will be available for signing until the day after the Queen’s funeral.

“I know there are many British Columbians who are feeling a great sense of loss at this time and would like to share their feelings of sympathy with The Royal Family,” Premier John Horgan says.

The province says messages will be collected and bound into a book. All books of condolence will be kept within national and provincial archives in perpetuity.
